P.S. where are my swizzle sticks? Shane | Congratulations and Happy 65th birthday Doug. Time certainly does fly by, it was almost 30 years ago I met you for the first time. As young love would have it, your daughter asked me to visit SF during college Spring Break. Most kids went south to the beach, we went north to -75 below wind chill and 3/2 beer at Charlies!! I will never forget meeting you, Judy, Dougie and Lyn. You were a tall, dark and handsome 36 year old! Just like you are today, well not so dark, ha! Thank you for always being kind and welcoming me into your family. There have been many fun times over the years. I look forward to many more. I wish you health and happiness in the years to come. Oh yeah, and few strokes and mulligans too!!! Jeff

19: Uncle Doug is a very special uncle to me. In August of 2008, he was kind enough to escort me down the aisle at my wedding when my dad wasn't able to do it. I remember I was very emotional and nervous that day, but he remained cool, calm and collected. I'm so glad he was there when I really needed him! Thank you so much Uncle Doug! Love, Lauren | Uncle Doug, thanks for being such a great uncle, despite the fact that we don't get to see each other nearly enough! It meant a lot to me to have you in town for my wedding in Austin and to spend time together! Love, Lindsay

20: debbie | To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. Clara Ortega Love, Debbie

21: What a welcome addition Mary has been! Understanding, compassionate and can make all of us laugh! | Happy Birthday!!!!! We have two very different stories from our pasts, but we will share the very precious gift of tomorrow to enjoy! thank you and your family for bringing so much happiness and joy into my heart! Love you more, Mary
